I had spent my adult life living in shame because of porn. When I confessed my addiction, I was the father of three sons who were 9, 6 and 2. Through counselling and an intensive program, I began to find healing and freedom.

Our children, Marni and Ivan are little, we gathered as a family for regular devotional times throughout the Christmas season.Some years, that's been daunting, but as the kids grow older, it's become easier for all of us to keep focused.

That day I gave my daughter more than a moment, I gave her a gift that I have rarely allowed myself - permission to feel the pain, to hear the hurt, to acknowledge the loss; not to silence it or run over it as if it were merely an inconvenient side-story.

Thank you for your support of our important, life-changing work.

Focus on the Family NZ is a Christian organisation with a vision for helping families, communities and society to thrive through Christ and His Gospel. Our purpose is to strengthen, defend and celebrate human dignity, marriage and the institution of the traditional family, and to highlight the unique and irreplaceable role that these play in God’s larger story of redemption.

Rather than just focusing on problems, we place a strong emphasis on seeking out and providing redemptive solutions to the issues that negatively impact marriages, families and the human person. Our ultimate desire is to empower the Church in this country with the knowledge and the tools it needs to embrace and be a vibrant living witness to the life-changing power of Christian love in action.
